If North Korea agrees to denuclearize following the Trump-Kim summit, and Pyongyang accedes to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or lands a similar deal bilaterally with the United States, the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency will be the first to investigate the country, South Korean newspaper Munhwa Ilbo reported Friday.

The comments came three days after the USA presidentannounced he would violate the worldwide nuclear deal with Iran which imposed strict curbs on Tehran's nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.

Here is a look back at the 18-month diplomatic roller-coaster that took Trump and Kim from rhetorical warfare to the verge of the first summit between a sitting United States president and a North Korean leader, set for June 12 in Singapore.

On Thursday, Trump praised Kim for releasing three Korean Americans held as prisoners.

North Korea's development of nuclear weapons and missiles capable of reaching the United States brought exchanges of bellicose rhetoric between Mr Trump and Mr Kim past year that raised fears of a new war on the Korean peninsula.

"We are interested in how much of our culture North Korean people know about", Do Jong-hwan, South Korea's minister of culture, sports and tourism, toldABC News, hinting that plans for plenty of cultural exchanges may already be in the works.

Trump greeted the Americans when they landed early Thursday morning at Joint Base Andrews just outside Washington, D.C.

With the meeting between Kim and Trump on the horizon, she said she hopes the struggles of North Koreans are not buried amid perceived progress towards denuclearization and peace.

As the Trump-Kim summit nears, there are several concerns. "I am confident we have a shared understanding of the outcome that the leaders want", Pompeo said, "certainly President Trump and Chairman Kim and I think President Moon as well".

Japan says North Korea abducted at least 17 Japanese citizens in the 1970s and 1980s to train agents in Japanese culture and language to spy on South Korea.
